@icecolbeveridge One of my favourite quotes! A meta-quote in fact.

@icecolbeveridge Although I always knew it as:
“Confound those who have made our remarks before us”

Where do you teach?

I teach in my home in Abbotsbury Road, Weymouth.

It's a 15-minute walk from Weymouth station, and it's on bus routes 3, 8 and X53. On-road parking is available nearby.

Is there a way to tell Goodreads “I have no interest AT ALL in the topic of that book, please stop recommending similar?"
